Back for its fifth year, Country Country is delighted to announce more artists to its lineup for 2017! To celebrate, Just Listen To This will have a full Country Week 2017 from Monday 6th March 2017 – Sunday 12th March 2017 to coincide with the C2C Festival alongside all of our other articles.

Following the incredible launch of Country To Country’s fifth year last week, it has been confirmed that the legendary Reba McEntire will be the third headliner at #C2C17.

Tickets are on sale now and  are available at www.theo2.co.uk or by calling 0844 856 0202.

From Friday 10th to Sunday 12th March we will see the return of two of America’s biggest stars, Brad Paisley and Zac Brown Band headlining the festival alongside Reba McEntire for the very first time. C2C will take place at O2 Arena, London, United Kingdom, Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow, Scotland and  3Arena, Dublin, Ireland.

On joining the festival, Reba said: “I am thrilled to be coming back over to Europe to perform for the folks there. You have always been so hospitable to my group and me. C2C is something I’ve wanted to do for a while so thanks so much for having me.”

Alongside the stellar headliners Chris Young, Darius Rucker, Jennifer Nettles, Hunter Hayes, Maren Morris, Cam, Dan + Shay and Brothers Osborne, also joining the bill is the five-time Grammy© winning Marty Stuart.

C2C is UK and Ireland’s largest country music festival, bringing three full days of the best in country music and programming that fans have come to love from the world’s best country stars as well as emerging talent from Nashville, UK and Europe.

It follows the storming success of C2C 2016 earlier this year. Over 80,000 country fans saw multimillion selling megastars Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Dwight Yoakam, Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves, Thomas Rhett, Sam Hunt and Chris Stapleton plus Maddie and Tae, Andrew Combs and Ashley Monroe.

Country To Country is an incredible opportunity for fans to see their idols come together over one weekend, under one roof and is not to be missed.

The legendary BBC Radio 2 broadcaster Bob Harris says, “It’s amazing to think that C2C is five years old already and also how quickly it has grown.  I am personally thrilled to be at the centre of it all and can’t wait for next March to welcome back old friends from Nashville and to introduce some new ones.”

Milly Olykan, C2C Festival Director for The O2 said: “We are thrilled to be going into our fifth year of Country to Country – it’s been incredible to have established an event that is so hugely anticipated by country fans and artists alike.  For us to be presenting many new artists for their first time in the UK and Ireland as well as welcoming some back to C2C is fantastic.  The growth of C2C owes so much to BBC Radio 2 and the Country Music Association of America – who are great partners on this festival with us.”

C2C again brings the spirit of Nashville to the UK – with additional programming still to be announced, including the Festival Stages for C2C ticket holders to enjoy such as the Yamaha Music Stage, the BBC Radio 2 Stage and the official C2C after shows. Free to watch stages will also be back again at The O2. Full lineup details, dates and venues for London, Glasgow and Dublin, Ireland are listed below:
